In the same week Obama publicly signed an executive order to cut down on coffee mugs and what not in executive departments (we're told it will save $4 billion), news comes out that the honorable Joseph Biden is charging the secret service rent when they stay at his Delaware cottage. The same secret service that protect his life.
Now, one can easily counter that he is losing potential income since he cannot rent out the residence like past years, when he was merely a Senator. True, and fair enough. But when your administration has attempted to build a facade of budget cutting for the last 2.5 years, can your credibly demand rent money for your bodyguards? Especially when you are paid hundreds of thousands a year - and are set for life with speaking fees!
With all this jobs talk in DC, it seems Biden is only worried about his own income.
